This might be worth it. I tried to go to an H Mart once and it was so busy I wanted to cry. 

I actually just talked about this with my mom. I need a few things if I’m going into the office next week (my company hasn’t called wfh yet but I’m going to text my boss later to check.) We have a small grocery in the next town that I’m thinking might not be overrun.

Yes! And they need the business since people have been needlessly and unpleasantly avoiding Asian stores and restaurants.

I’ve been finding that smaller, locally owned stores are less busy, and have more stock; people are not thinking of health food stores, they are descending on the big chain stores. So if you have a family owned grocery store anywhere close by, you might have better luck there. Also smaller crowds.

The colleges near me are all closing and finishing the semesters online, and the school districts are discussing now whether they will close after spring break as well. When I went grocery shopping I noticed the frozen pizza, Mac and cheese and other kid friendly food was decimated. People are panic buying, but I…

I have also become a bidet evangelist! It really is soooo much better.

Bless you. Not “bleed you.” I used to be able to type.

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with that. I know it’s stressful. We get by on food stamps and food banks. I think this article was meant to be cute but it missed the mark for me.

A lot of it is panic. Mainly because no one wants to be stuck without food in case of a quarantine - self-imposed or otherwise. I’m not a prepper or in a panic, but I generally have a lot of staples on hand. I cook a lot and apparently in a previous life I came from a very large family. I can’t cook a small batch of…

Legit, I looked my dog in the face and told her that if I die, she could eat me. She wagged her tail, so I think she understood. But now when she licks me I think she’s tasting. 

My mom and I went shopping today and found... madness.

Naw, I feel the same. I’m actually barely getting by the last few months since I’m having to pay $500 out of pocket for a medication, so I’m having to go to food shelves and occasionally get help from friends since my food budget is pretty tiny right now.

Hey babe, while diarrheais not common with this virus, if you’ve experienced it while having flu symptoms, toilet paper is the last thing you want to run out of.  And, when there’s no toilet paper, it feels like the world is ending.

If anybody asks me whether I’ve stocked up, I’ll tell them I have two bottles of Maker’s Mark.

This is such a guy attitude! I would feel oogy if I couldn’t wipe after #1 and I certainly don’t want to have to shower after every #2. I bought the most TP for my Mom because I want her to have a supply in case I get sick or exposed to the virus and can’t see her. For me, I just want to have enough that I won’t run…

This article struck me as obnoxiously privileged. Maybe I’m just feeling bitchy.

Honestly I just went ahead and bought a bidet the other day, it’s not perfect but it’ll give me a peace of mind at least. 

Paper towels down the toilet bowl is a bona fide recipe for disaster. I thought about this the other day and it occurred to me that maybe if it comes down to paper towel etc I need a diaper genie for disposal of things that CANNOT go down the toilet.

I tried to go to the grocery store after work on Wednesday, because I actually needed things. This grocery store is pretty much always busy but 7pm on a weekday is usually safe. It was so busy I couldn’t find a spot and I refused to go in because I’d definitely have a panic attack in those crowds.

From the pic:  Looks like some of it you eat, some you drink.
